Will these significantly reduce noise during target shooting with a pistol?

I use mine for indoor shooting range and they protect my hearing extremely well. I would rate them 5 stars.

I don't shoot but I highly doubt it. I wear them around the house and can still hear the tv on. My students wear them at school and their partner can still talk to them although it is muffled.

I would think that normal ear defenders or mufflers would be better,these will dampen sound but are designed to shut of the amplified sound when a gun is fired for a fraction of a second then will go back to normal.I use these for shooting trap.

The noise reduction works fairly well, I'd say you hear 50% less noise if you put them on.

Scott, I never tried these in a shop but I can tell you that on the range they block out 95% of very loud gun sounds. Guns make a lot of noise and these protect my earsfrom riffle shot, shot guns and pistols all being fired at the same time. The microphones on the headset are great as one can hear when talked to.

I am using them to muffle/block the sounds of heavy equipment but not at a firing range, so I cannot reasonably answer your question. Yes, you will be able to hear someone talking to you so you may need ear plugs, too.

Volume control? If you are asking if these are electronic noise reduction/sound canceling earmuffs, the answer is no. These are passive, tradition hearing protection - dampening all sound, as long as you wear them. They are rated 26dB, which is excellent for outdoor shooting of all types. If wearing at an indoor range I like to wear these over an in ear device (foam plugs or surefire's), especially when going from pistol to rifle.

Mine are excellent for the noise, but they are just so bulky. I don't really like the way they fit.. I will get different ones that are not so big , bulky and heavy.. when I shoot at the local indoor range here , they make sweat like crazy.. LOL...

Yes I think they would. They are designed to block out high db levels of percussive sound. Ones that are specifically made for shooting that law enforcement uses are called EarPro or Sonic Defenders by SureFire.

I find that they do reduce noise, and of course, the higher the volume you use, the less outside noise you hear

Not sure about those noises. The seem to block white noise and reduce loud music best. At a rock concert I could hear my wife talking to me clearly.

The noise reduction with these is better than the tactical sport version. I have compared them side by side as a friend has the TS model. I regularly shoot at an indoor pistol range and the Pro model works very well. My friend "doubles up" using foam ear plugs in addition to the TS model shooting indoors.I think the extra cost is worth the additional protection.

No they do not make noise when dry-firing. I use them in my basement and dry-fire at a target I have hanging up. Works Great!

I don't think they'd block out all sound but I think would be sufficient for most ranges. I shoot too and they certainly block out as much sound as my normal shooting muffs do. I don't use them because I normally shoot rifle and shotgun and the profile is too large and would get in the way of the gun stock. But if you're talking pistol, I would think they'd be just fine

Yes, but not as loud. These are designed for a different frequency for gun range

I use them for singing onstage. They filter out the bad frequencies so it doesn't sound muffled. I'm not sure they would be recommended for shooting a gun.

Yes. These are the best I have ever tried. I even take them to the gun range. They work better than my range ear muffs

Don't know. I can say that I still need ear plugs while shooting indoor. The reverberation is terrible. I guess a better question is, will all the equipment be as loud as an indoor shooting range. Good luck.
